Hi. I pre-ordered a Surface Pro X. I play around with coding, but really haven't done a lot, except some web and mobile coding. I am concerned about the Surface Pro X's ability to support coding. I have read about Win 10 limitations on an ARM processor.
The limits concern me a bit as well. Below are some specific concerns. The easy answer to my concerns is purchase a Surface Pro 7. Yet, I admit the Pro X is much more cool than a Pro 7, and at about the same price. (I currently have a Surface Pro 3.)
-- Will VS free and VS Code run on the Surface Pro X? Can I run Windows Store Python?
-- I know I cannot create virtual machines or containers but...
-- Might that change?
-- If I cannot run VMs and containers, is Azure's free tier a reasonable alternative?
-- Should I but a 16GB Pro X? Or, would an 8GB version be adequate?
-- I dream of accessing a RPi 4 using some sort of terminal services. Are such services available?
I recognize this forum may not be the best place to ask this question. I will post on other sites as well. However, if anyone has any thoughts, even if opinions, I would love to read those.
Many thanks!
